She tied her thoughts to how she was afraid to wear her hair naturally while in the White House.
, the former First Lady, 58, said tattoos are forms of self-expression — which should never be “politicized.”
“We need to create a broader definition of who's American, who counts, what beauty is," Michelle, explained. "It only helps our kids. We don't know who they're going to become and we want to make sure there's a space for them whoever they choose to be." “It shouldn’t be politicized,” she said of self-expression. “Most kids who are wearing tattoos and piercings, [or] they've got long nails — their value system is about individuality.”Clarkson, 40, added that tattoos used to be seen as “bad,” and that she was scolded by her own mom when she came home with one as a young woman.
